New England Institute of Technology PTA Program Overview

The Associate of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) at New England Institute of Technology (NEIT), located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, offers a dynamic pathway into the healthcare field. This CAPTE-accredited program can be completed in as little as 18 months and consists of approximately six terms combining classroom learning with extensive hands-on clinical experience across partnered local hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers.
Students complete courses like kinesiology, pathophysiology, musculoskeletal intervention labs, applied medical terminology, and general education classes such as psychology and college writing. Nearly half of the technical coursework involves laboratory work to ensure real-world skills development. Upon graduation, students are prepared to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE)—a requirement for licensure in Rhode Island or any other state.

The PTA program boasts an 84% ultimate pass rate on national licensing exams (2022-23 cohort) with all seeking employment securing jobs within a year. Tuition varies by term; financial aid—including grants and scholarships—is available to qualifying students. Unique among regional schools is NEIT’s bridge options: graduates may seamlessly transition from associate degree through bachelor’s programs into their anticipated Doctorate of Physical Therapy launching March 2026.

With small class sizes averaging around 20-25 students and faculty who maintain active clinical expertise,
NEIT’s PTA graduates become valued members of rehabilitation teams throughout southern New England—a region known for its robust healthcare sector—helping patients regain independence every day.
